Criminal Law for the Criminal Justice Professional equips students with a straightforward yet analytical overview of theory and substantive criminal law in the United States.

Pedagogical features such as On the Job boxes, Problem-Solving Exercises, Workplace Applications, and Ethics Exercises help students understand ethical and practice issues and the realities of the workplace.
